iPhone 17 Series Discounts Available Ahead of Expected iPhone 18 Launch

Analysed 2 Jul 2026·2 sources analysed·India·tech
iPhone 17 Series Discounts Available Ahead of Expected iPhone 18 LaunchPreviousNext

Flipkart's GOAT Sale and Amazon's Prime Day starting July 4 offer discounts on the iPhone 17 series, with price cuts up to Rs 22,000 on models like the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Additional bank offers and exchange benefits further reduce prices. These deals come ahead of the expected iPhone 18 launch, which may see higher prices due to rising component costs, making current discounts a potential last chance for buyers to purchase at lower rates.
